Long Walk Out of the Woods

It's the first day of December, so I roll a joint and think about the year

Did I spend days ignoring problems, drinking blindly, running from my fears

Or am I accustomed to finding the wrong in the right

I do recall, after all, I had a pretty good time

By this time next December, will I reminisce on the ones that got away

Maybe I'll remember to be better with the words I choose to say

That I never needed all this baggage and pain anyway

Maybe the same old shit, but it's a brand new day

But it's a long walk out of the woods, and I need some shelter

Yeah, it's a long walk out of the woods, I might need a little shelter

Well, it's a long walk, baby, getting out of the woods

I ain't got no destination, but I'm leaving for good

It's a long walk out of the woods

I've got no resistance for attraction to the neon lights

Troubles, it has caused a few, next thing I knew, they were reading me my rights

Strike a match and watch these bridges burn

Seems it takes the hard way before I learn

But it's a long walk out of the woods, and I need some shelter

Well, it's a long walk out of the woods, I might need a little shelter

Well, it's a long walk, baby, getting out of the woods

I ain't got no destination, but I'm leaving for good

It's a long walk out of the woods

It's the first day of December of the 31st year I've been alive

Though broken and busted and beat down, I have survived

And when my time has come, don't cry for me

Just know that I did it for the story

But it's a long walk out of the woods, and I need some shelter

Yeah, it's a long walk out of the woods, I might need a little shelter

Well, it's a long walk, baby, getting out of the woods

I ain't got no destination, but I'm leaving for good

It's a long walk out of the woods

It's a long walk out of the woods
